It was absolutely not a penalty in any way. They ran into each other after Gvardiol had attempted a pot shot from a cross. It was a ludicrously poor decision and smacked of a refereeing team that has never played the game.Just watched it again to make sure… Guardiol had hit the ball before contact was made. The defender had eyes on the ball and was entitled to challenge for it. In my opinion it was nothing more than a playing incident by old rules. Seriously do not think that would have been considered for a penalty 25 years ago and maybe more recently than that.
